Abstract

The gauge mechanical principle extends the classical laws of motion of particles in the framework of the gauge transformations, providing the foundation for a formulation of mechanics entirely in terms of the particle trajectories. The double slit experiment, the Aharonov-Bohm effect, EPR and the Schrödinger’s cat problems, are discussed as described by this extension. Present interpretations of these phenomena, related concepts, and the role of a measurement, indicate the existence of an objective reality coupled with randomness, which is at variance with the quantum mechanical view.
